My invention'` consists inthe construetion, arrangement and combination of elements hereinafter set forth, pointed out in 'my claims and: illustrated by the accompanying drawing,- in which- 'Figure 1 is a plan, Fig. 2 a side elevation and Fig. 3 arear elevation ofmy device.

In the construction of the device as shown the numeral -10 designates a frame made of a single bar of metal and having parallel contiguous arms and a loop 10a connecting said arms, said loop being adapted to receive and support a pail. Legs 11, 12, each made of a single bar of'metal, are arranged parallel with Seach other and on opposite sides of and` at rightangles to the arms of 'the frame 10 and are4 secured adjustably to said arms by bolts 13,14 passing througb'fv registering holes l5 in the arms and through the legs. Several holes 15 are provided in the arms in order that the legs may be ad# justed longitudinally of said arms. The

upper endsof the legs 11, l2 are turned outwardly and a seat 16, of any suitable mal. terial, is mountedon and secured to said .outtu'rned portions of the legs. The legs preferably cross the plane 'of the frame 10 in order that (when in use) the seat 16 may 4occupy a higher horizontal plane than the loop 10a containing-the pail. 'Legs 17, 18

are ixed to opposite sides of the" loop 10a and, are on' opposite .sides of they median line of the frame l0. The spaced legs 17,

l18 coperate with Ithe legs 11, 12 in 'maintaining the stability ofV the device. I claim asfiny inverni-md l.
